Dusan Vlahovic, Benjamin Sesko, Victor Osimhen, Mathys Tel, Yoane Wissa, Alexander Isak and Ollie Watkins. You name one perspective striker from Europe in the last three years, Arsenal have probably been connected with him at one point. And yet, the Gunners failed to address their weakest position and instead piled up midfielders time after time. When the Brittish press first caught Arsenal‘s interest in Serbian striker, he was worth 100 million euros. But now, a few years later, it seems that Vlahović‘s price could be more affordable for Mikel Arteta and the new sports director.❗️Vlahovic has a contract that takes him up to €12 million net. A contract that is not sustainable for Juve. It seems today that the most popular option is to put Dusan Vlahovic on the mercato.

The French striker started scoring as soon as he arrived in Turin, pushing Dušan Vlahović into the background. There were rumors that the Serbian striker might leave Juventus this January, but that did not happen. Judging by reports from the Italian media, there were no concrete offers. Such high-profile transfers usually happen in June. And, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, that is exactly the plan of the Old Lady: to sell Vlahović at the end of the season and buy Kolo Muani. According to Juventus officials, the Serbian striker could leave for 50 million euros. Who will be interested remains to be seen, but Vlahović has mostly been linked with English clubs, from Arsenal and Chelsea to Tottenham.Arsenal’s ‘Gunner Buddies’ and 12-year-long friendship that crushed Man CityJuventus’ issue with Vlahović is not related to his performances, as some might assume, but rather financial. His contract expires in June 2026, and under the terms offered by the club, he does not want to extend it. As a result, the Bianconeri have little choice but to sell the Serbian forward at the end of the season. This will also ease the club’s financial burden in terms of wages since, according to Gazzetta, Vlahović costs Juventus 20 million per year. It is estimated that a maximum of 55 million would be enough for Juventus to buy Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain. The Italian public is thrilled—the French striker, who scored two goals in ten games for PSG this season, has already found the net five times in just three appearances for the Old Lady.Who did Arsenal bring and why no one?Additionally, Juventus wants to keep Francisco Conceição from Porto. His record stands at four goals and five assists in 24 matches, but at only 22 years old, he has a long and promising career ahead. The Italians paid 7 million just for the loan, securing a 30 million buyout clause to avoid potential bidding wars with the Portuguese club at the end of the season. Now, they have everything in their hands—if they can find the money. First, they will have to sell.##NAJAVA_MECA_8692263##
